I specialise in militaria from both
World Wars, especially all things relating to Axis and Allied powers during and
after the Normandy landings of WWII. I attend militaria fairs throughout the UK
and Europe, and with over 30 years of personal collecting experience I am
confident the benefit of my knowledge is reflected in items I sell.

From time to time weapons and choice items of
militaria from other periods find their way into the shop, so it's always best
to check as the site is updated regularly.

I do my utmost to provide accurate images and
descriptions, and I only sell items that are authentic to their period (unless
otherwise stated) and of course I provide a money back guarantee. Please
contact me if you have any questions or you require additional images of any
item you are interested in purchasing.

If you have something to sell, I will always
consider buying single items to complete collections, and will also consider
part exchange. A layaway scheme is available to help spread the cost of higher
priced items.

Hope you like the website, any feedback would be
welcome.

Don’t miss this new book called: Reinhard Heydrich Iron Heart.
The Author is a personal friend and will send you a signed copy, post free. Just send £15 to PayPal Email tina@whizzywords.com with your address, and it will be sent out to you the next day. Here is a quick summary of the book:
SS General Reinhard Heydrich former Head of the Gestapo died 72 years ago and remains the only Senior Leader assassinated in WW2. He was known as The Butcher of Prague, The Master of Death and The Hangman; and described as The Most Evil Man of the Third Reich.
This book reveals new first-hand evidence that will explode some of the myths and stories about him.
Hitler called him ‘The Man with an Iron Heart’, but do you know why? Find out whether Canaris was actually a friend or foe, and the secrets of the real relationship between Heydrich and Himmler that spanned eleven years. You might be surprised to learn who was controlling whom in the RSHA and why a small silver bell with Heydrich’s name on it, had me chased by armed guards in Prague in December 2013.
Heydrich was Acting Head of State in Czechoslovakia for just 8 months, but his vision of ‘New Europe’ has affected the Europe we know today.
All this and more is revealed in a ‘Serious Case Review’ style investigation with myths busted and secrets uncovered from first-hand information about the man with an IRON HEART….
